I know a few plumbers with cracks that look like your belly button. Gotta love the forum... we know we're not the only ones when we come here.

the joys of plastics ...

before and 13 days post op

Wow, you look great. Hope you heal really well!

I was talking to my best bud and now I'm alittle scared. I wasn't going to tell her but we had lunch today and I blurted it. She was a tad bit negative (which is her natural state of mind) - kinda said something about not getting it done until goal but I said geesh I'm 15 lbs from my goal, its not like I'll have to have another tt when I lose it. Then she flipped and went on about how good I look and how even she has the belly flab - she's like 115 lbs - but I'm a little scared of the pain now.

well, the pain is not a walk in the park but it is SO worth it... if you do get the option for pain pump, get it ...

Losing you know you are The Lapband Super Hero doncha? You're fantastic!

StepC: Read my thread and you'll see that probably everyone has friends who are going to be jealous of your TT. I was 15 pounds from goal when I had my TT and the doc told me it was the perfect time to have it. He said if I lose alot more weight after the TT I might need a slight revision, but it's not going to be a big deal. I won't need the muscle repair, just a small incision and a little nip and tuck. I'm thinking of having my arms and back side done, so I am planning on more weight loss and if I need to, I'll get a little revision of the TT at the same time.

LJM: Maybe you shouldn't get on the treadmill for a little while longer. You are doing so well, but why push it? I guess you know best, though. Let me know how it goes for you and if you get more swelling or pain when you do it.

Losing, you are looking FABULOUS!!! What a difference! Glad everything is going well!

Angie, your ass comment was sooo funny! Thanks for the laugh!

Angie...love your belly button ass. .... I have old lady boob ass. You know when you are not trying to show your cleavage and you look down and you have butt around your neck?

im going to take it VERY VERY slow... literally going to start out at .5 MPH and gradually go up .1 MPH until i am walking 'normally' ... i dont think i'll last long though (went to the mall tonight* and lasted maybe 15 minutes, but that was chasing after DD)...

* what on God's green earth was i doing at the mall on a Friday night??? geesh - wayyyyy too old ... all the teens with droopy drawers... i did go back to Steve & Barry's and got a couple more pair of jeans though.

Losing, you are looking FABULOUS!!! What a difference! Glad everything is going well!

thanks Georgia ... think im gunna join you in the LC challenge soon... doc said as long as i eat plenty of veggies (salads are good) and keep my protein up my diet isnt restricted... woooo hoooo!!

Not to hijack C's thread even more, but re: old lady cleveage...

Lately my v-neck shirts have been getting to be a little TOO low cut as they get to be too big. Dh and I were joking around with the kids about mushrooms putting hair on your chest, or something. I said "I don't have hair on my chest" and tried to pull my shirt down a little bit just to show my upper chest. But, I forgot it was already down that far so ended up pulling it down WAY far. My 15 year old son is probably going to kill himself tonight. :thumbup:
